Natural Hot Spring


One of my favorite parts of our recent vacation was our stop along the road between Purgatory and Durango where we found this beauty...a natural hot spring.



I love them. I think they are some of God's best work.



I loved watching Abby climb and explore it. I loved her commentary as she compared the temperature of the water at the top to that at the bottom, and later, to that of the river water.




I loved the picnic we enjoyed at the bottom under a shade tree. I could have stayed all day.


The pictures I took are some of my favorites of the trip also.

Durango, Colorado

We are back from vacation! We went to Durango, Colorado for a few days and rode the train from Durango to Silverton,

rafted down the Animas River,



played in the nippy water,

did a little rock climbing,

and did a little real climbing.
